AIM: To evaluate the immunogenicity of a novel orthopedics materials (graded zirconia-hydroxyapatite composite) in vitro by using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy young people, and simple zirconia-hydroxyapatite composited material was used as control materials. METHODS: Proliferation of PBMCs cultured in different liquid after 5 days was measured by MTT methods. ELISA was used to detect TNF-α and IL-6 concentration in the supernatant of PBMCs cultured in the extracts after 24 hours. Flow cytometery was used to measure CD69 and CD25 in activated PBMCs cultured in the extracts of the two kinds of materials after 24 hours. RESULTS: The proliferation rate of the simple composite group was significantly lower than that in negative group (P<0.05), but there was no difference between the graded composited group and negative group. After 24 hours culture with LPS, the concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6 in the simple composited group were significantly higher than that in graded composited group, respectively (P<0.05). Cultured with PHA for 24 hours, the ratio of CD69 and CD25 positive PBMCs in the simple composited group was all significantly higher than that in graded composited material group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The number of PBMCs activated by the graded composited material is less than the simple composited material and the immunogenicity of the graded composited material is lower than the simple composited material.  相似文献

AIM: To examine the change of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO) in patient with congestive heart failure (CHF) and the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ), valsartan on TNF-α and NO production in culture peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), to assess the relationship between the renin-angiotensin system and cytokines. METHODS: Venous blood of both healthy volunteers (n=12) and patients with CHF (n=16) were collected. Serum TNF-α and NO were examined. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from both the control and the patients groups and cultured with AngⅡ at concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1 μmol/L, respectively. AngⅡ at concentration of 0.1 μmol/L combined with 0.1 μmol/L of valsartan was also used. After 24 h incubation, the contents of TNF-α and NO in the culture supernatants were measured. RESULTS: Serum TNF-α and NO production in CHF group were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01). The higher the heart failure degree, the higher the levels of TNF-α and NO (P<0.01), and no significant among different etiologies of CHF (P＞0.05) were observed. AngⅡ stimulated TNF-α and NO release from PBMC of patients with CHF and normal person, which was inhibited by valsartan. CONCLUSIONS: AngⅡ obviously increases TNF-α and NO production from PBMC, which indicates there is relationship between the renin-angiotensin system and TNF-α, NO. The fact that valsartan inhibits TNF-α production may be one of the mechanisms in treating CHF.  相似文献

AIM:To express recombinant hCD154-GST fusion protein, to prepare anti-hCD154 monoclonal antibody, and to investigate the effect of anti-hCD154 monoclonal antibody on graft rejection. METHODS AND RESULTS: Total RNA was prepared from human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) activated with 10ng/mL PMA and 1 μg/mL PHA for 8h, the total RNA was reversetranscribed to cDNA. The entire coding region and a part of the 3'non-coding regions were amplified by PCR using a pair of primers designed and synthesized according to the sequence of human CD154 gene from gene bank. The amplified product, a 820bp DNA fragment was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 plasmid expressing glutathione S-transferase(GST). The cloned insert was identified by double digestion of the cloned pGEX-4T-1 plasmid with retriction enzymes BamHⅠand EcoRⅠ.The fusion protein expression plasmid of PGEX-4T-1/hCD154 was constructed, then transformed to E coli BL21. The human CD154-GST fusion protein expression was induced by IPTG in BL21. The expression of recombinant 26kD GST and 55kD human CD154-GST fusion protein were confirmed by SDS-PAGE. CONCLUSION: We have express the recombinant human CD154-GST fusion protein. The expressed hCD154-GST fusion protein will be used to prepare anti-hCD154 monoclonal antibody, to investigate the role of anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody on graft rejection.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of AT-2-inactivated HIV-1 particles on human CD4+T cell activation and cytokine secretion in whole blood (WB) in vitro. METHODS: HIV-1ⅢB particles were inactivated by AT-2 chemical and the concentration of p24 antigen was determined by p24 ELISA. AT-2-inactivated HIV-1ⅢB particles were added to human WB culture system in serial concentrations to stimulate the cells. PHA was used as positive control. After 24 h, all the cultural supernatants were harvested and the concentrations of Th1 (IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10) cytokines released to the supernatants were detected by cytometric bead array (CBA). The percentage of CD69 expression on CD4+T cells from WB was detected by immuno-fluorescence staining plus flow cytometry. RESULTS: The concentration of p24 antigen in the AT-2-inactivated specimen was 85.5 μg/L. 24 h later, the percentage of CD69 expression on CD4+T cells from control group was (1.62±0.63) %, whereas it was (38.82±6.00)%, (3.83±1.07)%, (5.94±0.85)% and (9.30±1.22)% in PHA group, HIV-1 (1/500) group, HIV-1 (1/50) group and HIV-1 (1/5) group, respectively. Cytokines secreted by WB in control group were mainly TNF-α and IL-6. However, all the six cytokines tested were strikingly increased in PHA group, as well as in HIV-1ⅢB groups. CONCLUSION: AT-2-inactivated HIV-1ⅢB particles activate CD4+T cells from WB, and up-regulate both Th1 and Th2 cytokine secretion in WB. Besides the effects of viral proteins, other mechanisms may be proposed that HIV-1 particles act as antigen presenting cell (APC) because many host-derived immune molecules are incorporated into HIV-1 envelop when it is released from infected cells by budding, and exert immune modulation.  相似文献

AIM：To examine DNA methylation at CpG sites in the promoter region of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) gene in dengue virus type 2 (DENV2)-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
METHODS：DNA methylation in the promoter region of TNF-α gene was measured by bisulfite sequencing PCR.
RESULTS：The promoter region of TNF-α gene was from -294 bp to +58 bp, including 11 CpG sites. The PCR products identified by aga-rose gel electrophoresis were consistent with the theoretical size. Two sites were methylated at 0 h and 6 h and 6 sites were methylated at 12 h in TNF-α gene promoter region in DENV2-infected PBMC. The average methylation rates were 103%, 121% and 255% at 0 h, 6 h and 12 h, respectively. Significant differences between 0 h and 12 h and between 6 h and 12 h were observed.
CONCLUSION：The DNA methylation in the promoter region of TNF-α gene is increased in DENV2-infected PBMCs.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of IL-17 and its signal conduction component-JNK activity in the pathogenesis of LN. METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated and cultured from 15 cases of active lupus nephritis (LN) patients. IL-6 level was detected by ELISA, IL-6 mRNA was checked with RT-PCR, and JNK activity was measured by Western blot. RESULTS: At same IL-17 end concentrations, there was a much higher level of IL-6 in LN group than in control group (all P<0.05). IL-17 induced a significant elevation of IL-6 mRNA expression and JNK activity in PBMC from LN patients in a time- and dose-dependent manner, which could be blocked markedly by IL-17 monoclonal antibody, mIgG28, and dexamethasone. Much higher IL-6 mRNA expression was observed in LN group than in control group under medium culture or IL-17-conditioned culture (all P<0.01). Under medium culture or IL-17-conditioned culture, there was much higher JNK activity of PBMC in active LN group than that in control group. There was a positive linear correlation between PBMC JNK activity and their SLEDAI or IL-6 mRNA expression level in LN patients (r1=0.638, P<0.01; r2=0.644, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that IL-17 may take part in the initiation and progression of LN through induction of IL-6 overexpression by PBMC,and JNK hyperactivity may be necessary in the IL-17 signal transduction.  相似文献

AIM:To investigate expression and function of CD40 ligand by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).METHODS:Expression of CD40 ligand by PBMCs in patients with SLE and control were examined by flow cytometric analysis before and after stimulated by phytohemagglutinin(PHA)and depressed by Dexamethasone(Dex). The correlation between expression of CD40 ligand and SLE activity index(SLEDAI) was analysed in patients with SLE.RESULTS:The expression of CD40 ligand by PBMCs in patients with active SLE was higher than that in patients with inactive SLE and control. Though the expression of CD40 ligang by PBMCs could be stimulated by PHA in three groups, it was the highest in patients with active SLE. Dex depressed the expression of CD40 ligand by PBMCs significantly in patients with SLE, but not in control. There was high positive correlation between expression of CD40 ligand and SLEDAI in patients with active and inactive SLE.CONCLUSION:Increased expression of CD40L by PBMCs in patients with SLE may play an important role in pathogenesis of SLE.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of mesalazine treatment on regulation of Th1, Th17 and Treg cells in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS: The expression of IL-17, IFN-gamma and Foxp3 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and intestinal mucosa lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMC) of DSS-induced UC mice was detected by flow cytometry analysis. The effect of mesalazine treatment on regulaiton of Th1, Th17 and Treg cells in the mice with DSS-induced ulcerative colitis was examined.RESULTS: The expression of IL-17, IFN-γ and Foxp3 on CD4+T cells were significantly higher in the PBMC of DSS-induced mice than those in control group. CD4+ IFN-γ+T cells and CD4+ Foxp3+T cells were higher in LPMC than those in control group, except CD4+IL-17+T cells. Moreover, the Th1, Th17 and Treg cells were higher in DSS group than those in control group in LPMC. However, only Tregs was higher in PBMC. Pre-treatment with mesalazine significantly decreased the number of Th17, Th1 and Treg cells of UC model mice both in PBMC and LPMC.CONCLUSION: The Th1, Th17 and Tregs cells in DSS-induced mice were significantly higher than those in control mice, suggesting that CD4+T cell subsets play an important role in the pathogenesis of UC. Mesalazine may play a role in the treatment of UC by regulating the Th1, Th17 and Tregs cells.  相似文献

AIM: To find new gene function associate with active lupus nephritis (LN) through study on the difference in gene expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells between LN patients and healthy controls by gene chip. METHODS: The CSC-GE-80 chip containing 8 000 spots of cDNAs were used to investigate the difference of the expression. Both the total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of active LN patients and healthy donors were reversely transcribed to cDNA with the incorporation of fluorescent( cy3 and cy5) labeled dCTP to prepare the hybridization probes. After hybridization, the gene chip was scanned for the fluorescent intensity. The differentially expressed genes were screened. We repeated that in three groups of LN patients and healthy controls, respectively, and only the genes that have differential expression in all three chips were considered associated with LN. RESULTS: 75 genes were identified to be differently expressed in all three groups of LN patients as compared with healthy controls, including 42 up-regulated genes and 33 down-regulated ones. CONCLUSION: The present study represents a global view of gene expression of LN and provides important clues for further study of LN related genes. And it also suggests defensin α1, S100A8, S100A9 may be involved in the pathogenesis of LN.  相似文献

AIM:To confirm that CD4+CD25+ regulato ry T cells don't have an instinctive defection in IL-2 secretion,and to have an insight into the maturation state of CD4+CD25+ T cells in cord blood.METHODS:CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells were purified f rom cord blood of term infants (CB) and adult peripheral blood (PB) by autoMACS,and stimulated with PDB plus ionomycin.After 45 hours of culture,cells were d etected for expression of CD69 and CD25 by flow cytometry,and the supernatants were measured for 7 kinds of cytokines by Luminex.RESULTS:CD4+CD25+ T cells from both CB and PB proliferated comparably with CD4+CD25- T cells when stimulated with PDB plus ionomycin.A fter 45 hours of culture,however,the CD4+CD25+ T cells underwent a tendenc y of cell death.Expression of CD25 was further upregulated when CD25+ cells w ere activated.Under stimulation of PDB plus ionomycin,both CD4+CD25+ and C D4+CD25- T cells in PB secreted high levels of IFN-γ,IL-2 and TNF-α,with CD25+ cells secreted much higher level of IL-5,IL-4 and IL-10 than those in CD25- cells;CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells in CB also secreted high level of IL-2 and TNF-α but much lower level of IFN-γ than those in PB,and no secretion of IL-5,IL-4 and IL-10 was observed.CONCLUSION:CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells don't have an i nstinctive defection in IL-2 secretion,otherwise there may be a different TCR signaling pattern in CD4+CD25+ T cells from traditional T cells.The CD4+C D25+ T cells in cord blood have not fully matured in function.  相似文献

AIM: To determine the role of chemokine and its receptors in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS: Gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in 13 AS patients and 7 healthy volunteers were determined by cDNA microarray with 588 targeting gene filter. Differentiated expressed CXCR4 and its only ligand SDF-1 were confirmed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR, ELISA, immunohistochemistry and FACS analysis using PBMC, synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) and synoviocytes. RESULTS: The gene expression profile of AS patients was significantly different from those of healthy volunteers. Higher expression of CXCR4 in monocytes and CD8+ T lymphocytes from PBMC in AS patients were found with statistical significance (P＜0.05) compared to those of healthy volunteers. The expression of SDF-1 was increased in PBMC, SFMC, synovial fibroblasts and lining layer cells of synovial membrane. CONCLUSIONS: The expression of CXCR4 was significantly increased in PBMC in AS patients. Its ligand SDF-1 was also found highly expressed in synovial fibroblast cell line and synovial membrane cells of AS patients, indicating that CXCR4 and SDF-1 may play a potential key role in the development and perpetuation of joint inflammation in AS patients.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the characterization of absorption of hematoporphyrin monomerthyl ether (HMME), a domestic new generation photosensitizer product, by activated T cells from human peripheral blood. METHODS: Evaluation was performed by flow cytometry on the effects of incubating concentration and time of HMME on absorption by activated T cells. Lymphocytes were separated from human peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation with Ficoll and T cells were activated with polyclonal stimulators PHA and PDB+Ion. To analyze the effects of HMME incubating doses on the absorption of activated T cells, the cultural lymphocytes were incubated with a serial doses of HMME for 1 h and HMME absorption were measured by FACS after immuno-staining with anti-CD3 antibody. To test the impact of HMME incubating time on the absorption of activated T cells, the cultural lymphocytes were incubated with HMME for various times and HMME absorption were measured by FACS after immuno-staining with anti-CD3 antibody. RESULTS: The HMME absorption-dose curve and absorption-time curve were shifted to right and up in the activated T cells as compared to resting T cells. HMME absorptions of activated T cells were statistic significantly larger than that of resting T cells in the doses between 5 mg/L to 20 mg/L. HMME absorptions of either activated T cells or resting T cells underwent a gradual increase with the incubation-time in HMME at concentration of 10 mg/L. HMME absorptions of activated T cells were statistic significantly larger than that of resting T cells in the incubation-time between 15 to 60 min. CONCLUSION: The differences of HMME absorption between activated T cells and resting T cells depend on the incubation times and doses of HMME. HMME absorption of activated T cells are significantly larger than that of resting T cells in certain incubation-times and doses. These results suggest that incubation time and dose associated with HMME-PDT therapeutic windows will be created for selective deletion of activated T cells.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the distribution and clonal expansion of 29 T cell receptor (TCR) Vα subfamily T cells in patients with acute monoblastic leukemia (AML-M5)．METHODS: The CDR3 of TCR Vα 29 subfamily genes were amplified in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 8 cases with AML-M5 using RT-PCR，and the PCR products were further labeled with fluorescent and analyzed by genescan technique for the CDR3 size,to evaluate clonality of the detectable TCR Vα subfamily T cells.9 normal individuals served as control.RESULTS: Most Vα subfamily genes could be detected in PBMCs from normal individuals,whereas only 1-10 subfamily T cells were identified in 8 cases with AML-M5,the highest frequently expressed Vα subfamily was Vα3 (75%),and Vα12 was the second (62.5%),15 Vα subfamilies (Vα1,4,5,7,9,14-18,20,21,26,28 and Vα29) were absent.Genescan analysis showed that clonal expanded T cells were found in T cells from 6 out of 8 AML-M5 cases.The highest frequency of clonal expanded T cells predominated in Vα12 (3 out of 5 positive samples).In PBMCs from two cases,clonal expanded Vα3 T cells were the unique detectable Vα subfamily T cells.CONCLUSION: The selected usage and clonal expansion of TCR Vα subfamily T cells from peripheral blood could be found in patients with AML-M5.It may be a specific immune response which the host T cells are activated by the M5 leukemia cells.The distribution pattern of Vα subfamily clonal expansion displays individual specificity．  相似文献

AIM: To isolate, purify and differentiate endothelial progenitor cells from cord blood in vitro and to study their biological characteristics. METHODS: CD133+ cells were selected from fresh cord blood mononuclear cells (MNC) by magnetic activated cell-sorting system (MACS). EPC was studied by flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. Isolated cells were cultured in IMDM medium supplemented with or without VEGF, bFGF, SCF. RESULTS: The percentage of CD133+ cells of cord blood MNC was (1.41±1.14)%, and purity was 75%-85% (FACS method). CD133+ cells were grown on fibronectin-coated chamber slides in the presence of VEGF, bFGF, SCF. Within 1-2 hours of culture cells became adherent. On day 7-10, the adherent cells displayed a typical “cobblestone” morphology. After 14 days of culture, the adherent cells revealed a heterogeneous cell population, comprising small-sized round cells, spindle-like cells and formed tube-like structure. Weibel-Palade bodies were shown on the transmission electron microscopy photomicrographs. Compared with the original, cell markers CD133 and CD34 decreased significantly (77.0%±3.3% to 1.6%±2.2% and 93.1%±4.7% to 37.4%±4.9%, P<0.05), while Flk-1 increased significantly (from 22.3%±3.3% to 94.3%±4.1%, P<0.05) after 14 days of culture with VEGF, bFGF, SCF. The vWF was strongly expressed (77.9%±3.3%) on the 14th day later. CONCLUSION: Vascular endothelial progenitor cells were isolated from cord blood with specific expression of CD133/CD34/Flk-1. With the stimulation of the growth factors, seven-ten days after culture EPCs could be turned to endothelial cells.  相似文献

AIM: To elucidate the significance of glucocorticoid(GC) receptor isoform β(GRβ)in children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome(INS), and to evaluate the effect of sera from GC-resistant INS on the expression of GRβ. METHODS: The percentage of GRβ positive staining peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) and the quantity of nuclear protein of GRβ in PBMC were detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting assay, respectively. The effect of sera isolated from children with GC-resistant INS on GRβ expression was examined by cell culture in vitro. RESULTS: The number of GRβ positive staining PBMC and the quantity of nuclear protein of GRβ in children with GC-resistant INS were significantly higher than those in patients with GC-sensitive INS(P<0 01). The quantity of GRβ protein in nuclei of PBMC in children with GC-resistant INS was significantly higher than that in normal control and children with GC-sensitive INS. After 24 hours incubation with sera from children with GC-resistant INS, the percentage of GRβ positive PBMC and the quantity of nuclear GRβ protein in children with GC-sensitive INS and normal control increased significantly(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Increased expression of GRβ is closely related with the GC resistance in children with INS, and high expression of GRβ is mediated, at least in part, by certain humoral factors in the serum.  相似文献
